Dunkelflaute risk is real.
From the AFR today:
Energy policy advisers have previously warned about the implications for the NEM of a “renewables drought” in winter months, a situation described by the German worddunkelflaute. Meaning “dark doldrums”, it refers to a prolonged period when both solar and wind power generation are subdued. The Australian market is most affected by low wind power rather than solar, leading some experts to decline to apply the term to present conditions.
The risk of dunkelflaute is typically used as an argument for retaining gas power generation that can produce electricity on demand within an increasingly renewables-reliant power system, and for installing more storage.
